Darren Bent has been named in Aston Villa's starting lineup for the visit of Ipswich Town in the third round of the FA Cup.

He will be partnered by 21-year-old Jordan Bowery, while there are also starts for Charles N'Zogbia, Fabian Delph and Marc Albrighton in midfield.

Shay Given is preferred to Brad Guzan between the sticks.

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy hands a debut to Patrick Kisnorbo, who joined the club on a one-month loan from Leeds United earlier this week.
